librarygirl said:I see you redid the test. I was just about to say.....redo the test. lol. This happened to me the other night. The night before I had gotten 20-30 nitrates. I shook the first bottle, added drops, shook the tube, shook the second bottle for what I counted as 30 sec, then shook the tube for what I counted was a full minute. Well I almost fainted when the tube was stilll yellow 5 mintues later. I redid the test and whew it came back 30-40 nitrate. So I was going to suggest doing the test one more time just to be sure, but you did. So I guess this was a useless response.
Haha! It's okay, you're a librarian so you've just got to make sure everything is referenced and in the right locations (and charge us a fee if the tubes aren't returned in a timely fashion). I've actually called API and asked if they'd consider putting the instructions on the bottles as well as the booklet...and I got the standard "thank you for your recommendation sir" response that I expected. I wonder what % of people with API kits actually have no idea what their reading is?
